on Jynx- feat Joey Bonez Striking Daggers by Jynxz
The "Neanderthal" has the right idea! I love those two guys from Striking Daggers, they have been good sources of info from the Hip Hop World. That being said, this is freaking insane and freaking awesome mate. Did Shatner just say scuse me while I kiss this (guy) I mean sky...!!!!! Great mix, and very creative, nice work!

on Walk Away by nyd868
Very cool, I respectfully disagree with my esteemed friend Danke, I like that synth solo sound, but then again I am a synth player and may have a bias, and have done squelched sounds like that in the past. Overall a nice chill tune, well done!

So smooth and silky mate. Guitar work and tone are distinctive and sublime. I almost got a Quiet Sun feel from this one. Good work as always!

Thanks a lot Steve! I didn't know Quiet Sun :o band from the 70s right? But I gave them a quick listen and I'll take it as a compliment :)
Thanks as always, you da man!

on Twilight by Zootman
There is an eno-esque quality about this one from two eras. His early Evening Star, but also "An Ending Ascent".

You kind of melded the aesthetic of both works!
good work a pleasant journey

Pretty hard to do ambient and not reference Brian Eno (One Brain) in some way. Thanks for the links, I listened to both, wasn't familiar with either though I have listened to a reasonable amount of Eno's ambient stuff (Ambient 4 and Before/After Science) were a bit of a fav. Thanks for the listen and commented man, much appreciated.

on MeMyself AndI ish by Jynxz
I think you were baiting all of us with your master guitar and synth playing ;-). This sounds like a fun jam that you did. I used to do stuff like that back in the day for practice and sometimes those jams could turn into songs. Whether you were manually overriding the sounds or Lone rangering the drum parts. I mean playing all those instruments you were literally playing five on one and taking the self guided tour. All you needed was a singing soprano you old downstairs DJ. ;-)

Jynxz replied 6th Jul 2022 - 4 years ago
What's up Cru,

You're right, this is kind of a Jam session with Myself.
I think every now and then we should just "let er rip".
for instance I would have enjoyed a whole track of the Guitar
that you did on your last track but... You sprinkled teasers
of the Guitar throughout the track (Cool & tasteful). I wondered how some of your Guitar takes that didn't appear on the track sounded, awesome I'm sure.
Thanks for giving my track a listen and for your continued encouraging comments.

PEACE from the Southeast...

on Four Seasons in One Day by Diskonnect
Fit Like! Far Hiv Ye Bin? Izotope Relay will give U that space you need.
I have been experimenting with Valhalla Supermassive for the depth side of things. But I like the mix actually as it is and I am not sure that will improve what you are going for. There is a bit of Eno-Fripp feel going on. (Index of metals era). Bonnie tune mate!

on Shawl feat Odarka by AtticElla
Just read BOD's synopsis, and totally concur. this is a great example of filtered deep house. But also as a cool background at a trendy 5star hotel bar. The bass is the star in this track. This is the kind of song that lifts your spirits and makes u feel better after you have listened to it. great job on this one, sad I missed it when it came out!

Thank you crucethus, really appreciate your input. And it came at a good time as well, not to worry. I really needed that. =)

on Trouts Truth by pseudoble
In response to BOD's comment, I completely agree with you on your approach. My music theory prof used to say learn the rules, then break them all you want. As long you can explain why you did it and it makes musical sense. This makes musical sense, good work.

on jesus has a mighty sword by Zootman
loved the wah guitars but the real star is the drums and that funky bass. Almost an I'm afraid of Americans feel to it. Awesome work, fav'd
Zootman
Zootman replied 24th Jun 2022 - 4 years ago
Thanks Cru, yep the two things I didn't create lol. But yeah as soon as I got the bass and drums together I knew I had to use it. Cheers.

on Caution Over Happiness by ValveDriver
Dark and foreboding, just how I like it. There is still room for dubstep to become more creative. After disco was emaciated and popized by the rec companies. It fell deep underground in Chicago, Detroit New York, Berlin, London, and Manchester. It became a whole other animal. You are at the forefront of being that innovator mate! Do it!!
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 19th Jun 2022 - 4 years ago
Man, if I thought I had any impact on the direction of dubstep, I totally would. But I know my fame goes no further than the featured list on Looperman. And even then, it's faded from what it was back in the day. Nah, I just make wubby bass tracks with a metalhead background. When I can actually get into it, that is. I've been having a hard time staying with a track long enough to see it through. I have about 40 starts, and none finished in the last year. Everything from metal to cinematic, to dubstep, to some freaky ass industrial noise experimentation #####.

Anyhow, one of these days maybe, huh?

As always Mr. C. I look forward to hearing from you and appreciate your take on things.

Take care, bud.

on Resonance by EmmaniFreeze
very chill, beautiful meditating sounds. I like the percussions Grandfather's clock-like precision. For some reason, this reminded me of a Japan (David Sylvain) tune but I really couldn't reference it. Good Tune!

very nice tune. have you thought of adding some sub-bass to this to widen the frequency load?
EmmaniFreeze

Oh some subs would be very cool, I'm thinking of adding more ideas to this track, widening the range of frequency would be a good a idea :)

very cool, 1:16 is an awesome reverse sound. I like how you repeat the lyrics, but filter them. great use of the studio as an instrument mate, well done.

on UNDERMORPHINE - Lost In Translation DEMO by thechockehold
Hej, Rått. Impressive tune. As the Stanley Cup playoffs are getting deep here in Canada I could hear this tune used as a highlight reel song on Hockey Night in Canada, which is a real honor here. I really like how you use the bass line to anchor minor 7th chords on the guitar strums and picks to really create the gravitas and raw meat of the tune. And the breakdown with the piano was sublime and so tasteful. I really enjoyed my listen tonight both as a punter and as a musician for two entirely different reasons. Well done.

Thank you, Crucethus. Modern, yes. Contemporary, no. But at least I'm still hanging on. I have a line in one of my songs that goes, "One thing to know about me, I just keep going." And it's true! Thanks you as always for your support.

on lets go surfing surfers reef tonight by rockoff
So from a mastering point of view, I would go back and put Fab Filter,s Saturn, and use the warm tube amp on the guitars to soften the sound and soften the plate reverb. Otherwise cool and nice work. I've been watching the new episodes of Kids in the Hall on Amazon prime and their theme song has that awesome surf sound.

on robot dictator by DEMYBU
Well now, It's interesting to hear someone is still doing Dubstep. This is sweet. The beginning actually has a reggae feel, so you're touching close to the early dubstep roots, but then it has that Skrillex bro-step feel that many of us quickly got tired of. I think, If you keep melding the original roots of the genre (circa 2001-2004)you will find artistic bliss. the sound engineering was not bad. what DAW do you use?. good work overall
DEMYBU
DEMYBU replied 17th May 2022 - 4 years ago
Thats exactly what im going for! Ive notice that alot of people missed skrillex's 2014-2016 dubstep. so im just trying to either try and fill the place that skrillex sort of left or be known for that specific style :) and far as people getting tired of the brosteppy feel i agree i got tired listening to the same old beat style...but just like fashion cycling its self every decade so does music genres, and i intend to be there when it happens to bro step :) and i use Fl Studio kind sir!
